Category 5 Technologies Completes Iomega Marketing Campaign

    SALT LAKE CITY, June 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Category 5 Technologies,
Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: CFVT), a rapidly growing provider of marketing tools
and commerce enabling technologies for small to medium-sized businesses, today
announced the results of the Iomega (NYSE: IOM) "Popmercial" marketing
campaign.  The fee-based campaign, conducted by Category 5 Technologies'
CaptureQuest division, promoted the Iomega Peerless Drive(R) product launch.
    The campaign, which targeted Iomega customers through permission based
Popmercials, promoted Iomega's unique storage solution for Windows XP users
and acted as a gateway that successfully directed interested customers to
Iomega's website.  "We are extremely pleased with the delivery of the Iomega
campaign and the accompanying results," said William Gibbs, CEO of Category 5
Technologies.  "We experienced a 32% click-through rate, with over 28%
actually opening the Popmercial presentation.  The main call to action, 'Buy
Now,' received a 4.2% overall click-through rate."
    The Popmercial marketing campaign involved a 20 second interactive email
promotion that contained audio and graphic animation.  It opened automatically
inside the recipient's email program and contained specific call-to-action
items tailored to the objectives of the campaign.  The email Popmercial was
delivered to an internal email list, provided by Iomega.  In addition to the
up front fee charged for creating the campaign, Iomega incurred an additional
fee for each Popmercial delivered.
    "The Popmercial refined and further developed Iomega's customer database,
allowing them to build long-term loyal customer relationships," said Tyler
Thompson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing of Category 5 Technologies.
"The campaign capitalized on Iomega's current, registered customer base and
effectively branded their newest product.  We believe that the campaign will
dramatically reduce Iomega's cost of new customer acquisition."
